National Democrats Vetting Nikki Haley

National Democrats Vetting Nikki Haley

U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley is one of several prominent “Republicans” being vetted by national Democrats as a possible presidential candidate in 2020.

According to reporter Gabriel Debenedetti of Politico, Haley is one of several GOP politicians upon whom Democratic National Committee (DNC) staffers are conducting “full-scale opposition research” in the event U.S. president Donald Trump is not on the ballot in three years.

In the case of Republicans like Pence and Kasich, the team of over two dozen DNC researchers is mostly updating the existing research books they deployed in 2016, according to Democrats familiar with the arrangement. For the others, the operatives are combing through voting and governing records, compiling financial files, searching for conflicts of interest, and saving clips on their relationships with Trump.
